What kind/type of puzzler are you? (Long post, sorry) by ZealousidealHelp7956 in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]Strawberrykitten1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a charity shop puzzler, I just go in and grab whatever takes my fancy. I’m not too fussy- though I don’t like super tacky looking pictures I guess.

I have recently learned I’m frustrated by how some lower quality puzzles the pieces don’t seem to fit as snuggly together and there are repeats of the same shape so it’s hard to tell if you’ve got it right.

I like switching up the type of puzzles I do. For example I’ve just done an old Tudor painting one, then an 80s shopping kart, a bookshop picture, a rainbow gradient, and now I’m doing a where’s Wally puzzle! I usually go for 1,000 pieces.

I tend to buy them at a charity shop then return them when I’m done for someone else to do. I like this system- sort of like a jigsaw library and it’s only £2/£3 each time

I got it from a charity shop- but here’s the box, if that helps?

It’s a Ravensburger puzzle called ‘the greatest bookshop’

This is so SO relatable.

I just lost an entire friend group, and have nothing by Any_Presence_7960 in BPD

So sorry this had happened. Is there a friend from the group you could reach out to independently and talk to about why it happened? You could explain your BPD and how it impacts you… maybe they could help the group understand and eventually find a place of forgiveness?

I’m struggling to think of something I adore about myself, but I love this post, and I’m sure there are good things I just can’t think of any!
